Niklas portable freestand
The Niklas portable freestand offers you the unique possibility to lift and move a patient easily
and safely without straining the patient or the caregiver. The portable freestand can be used
for lifting and moving patients from a bed, wheelchair, bath/shower or from the floor. Weight
capacity is 220 kg / 480 lbs.
"Caution!" triangles are used to warn of situations that demand extra care and
attention
Lifting and transporting a person always involves risk. It is important to read the instructions
for both the lifting equipment and the lift. Always ensure that the equipment to be used is
compatible with Human Care products. As career you are responsible for the safety of the
patient and need to be aware of the patient´s ability to manage the lifting procedure.
The Niklas portable freestand is designed to lift and lower patients strictly in a vertical plane,
never at a diagonal or angle. When lifting a patient, the lift motor should be positioned
directly above the patient. When lowering a patient, the lift motor should be positioned
directly above the surface onto which the patient is being lowered.
LIFTING OR LOWERING A PATIENT AT A DIAGONAL OR ANGLE CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PATIENT OR CAREGIVER. NEVER DO
A ROOM-TO-ROOM TRANSFER USING THE PORTABLE FREESTAND
